Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for GSM900/DCS1800 networks
The exposure standard for wireless phone employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2W/kg averaged over ten
(10) grams of tissue. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
it is tested to confirm compliance with the guidelines
(e.g., at the ear) that conform to a uniform testing
methodology determined by an expert standards body.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 0.481W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all met
the R&TTE requirements for safe exposure. Please note
that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products; in all
cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
The model wireless phone meets R&TTE requirements
for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is
a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of compre
-
hensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines area
based on standards that were developed by independ-
ent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
